Cimtak Online Privacy Statement

(last updated: January 2008)

Cimtak is committed to protecting your privacy. Please read the Cimtak Online Privacy Statement below for Cimtak sites and services that you may use.

This Cimtak Online Privacy Statement applies to data collected by Cimtak through the majority of its websites and services, as well as its offline product support services. It does not apply to those Cimtak sites, services and products that do not display or link to this statement or that have their own privacy statements.

Collection of Your Personal Information

At some Cimtak sites, we ask you to provide personal information, such as your e-mail address, name, home or work address or telephone number. We may also collect demographic information, such as your post code, age, gender, preferences, interests and favorites. If you choose to make a purchase or sign up for a paid subscription service, we will ask for additional information, such as your credit card number and billing address, that is used to create a Cimtak billing account.

In order to access some Cimtak services, you will be asked to sign in with an e-mail address and password, which we refer to as your credentials. In most cases, these credentials will be part of the Cimtak Business Advantage credential. You can use the same credentials to sign in to many different Cimtak sites and services, as well as those of select Cimtak partners. By signing in on one Cimtak site or service, you may be automatically signed into other Cimtak sites and services. As part of creating your credentials, you may also be requested to provide questions and secret answers, which we use to help verify your identity and assist in resetting your password, as well as an alternate email address. Some services may require added security, and in these cases, you may be asked to create an additional security key. Finally, a unique ID number will be assigned to your credentials which will be used to identify your credentials and associated information.

We may collect information about your visit, including the pages you view, the links you click and other actions taken in connection with Cimtak sites and services. We also deliver advertisements and provide website analytics tools on non-Cimtak sites and services, and we may collect information about page views on these third party sites as well. Additionally, we collect certain standard information that your browser sends to every website you visit, such as your IP address, browser type and language, access times and referring Web site addresses.

When you receive newsletters or promotional e-mail from Cimtak, we may use web beacons (described below), customized links or similar technologies to determine whether the e-mail has been opened and which links you click in order to provide you more focused e-mail communications or other information.

In order to offer you a more consistent and personalized experience in your interactions with Cimtak, information collected through one Cimtak service may be combined with information obtained through other Cimtak services. We may also supplement the information we collect with information obtained from other companies. For example, we may use services from other companies that enable us to derive a general geographic area based on your IP address in order to customize certain services to your geographic area.

Use of Your Personal Information

Cimtak collects and uses your personal information to operate and improve its sites and deliver the services or carry out the transactions you have requested. These uses may include providing you with more effective customer service; making the sites or services easier to use by eliminating the need for you to repeatedly enter the same information; performing research and analysis aimed at improving our products, services and technologies; and displaying content and advertising that are customized to your interests and preferences.

Many of the websites and online services we offer are supported by advertising, and as indicated above, we may use some of the information we collect in order to personalize the ads we show you. However, we designed our systems to select ads based only on data that does not personally and directly identify you. For example, we may select the ads we display according to certain general interest categories or segments that we have inferred based on (a) demographic data, including any you may have provided when creating an account (e.g. age, zip or postal code, gender), general demographic data acquired from other companies, and a general geographic location derived from your IP address, (b) the pages you view and links you click when using Cimtak’s and its partners’ web sites and services, and (c) the search terms you enter when using Cimtak’s Internet search services, such as Live Search.

When we display personalized ads, we take a number of steps designed to protect your privacy. For example, we store page views, clicks and search terms used for ad personalization separately from your contact information or other data that directly identifies you (such as your name, e-mail address, etc.). Further, we have built in technological and process safeguards designed to prevent the unauthorized correlation of this data.

We also use your personal information to communicate with you. We may send certain mandatory service communications such as welcome letters, billing reminders, information on technical service issues, and security announcements. Some Cimtak services, such as Business Advantage, may send periodic member letters that are considered part of the service. We may also occasionally send you product surveys or promotional mailings to inform you of other products or services available from Cimtak and its affiliates.

Personal information collected on Cimtak sites and services may be stored and processed in the Australia or any other country in which Cimtak or its affiliates, subsidiaries or agents maintain facilities, and by using a Cimtak site or service, you consent to any such transfer of information outside of your country.

Sharing of Your Personal Information

Except as described in this statement, we will not disclose your personal information outside of Cimtak and its controlled subsidiaries and affiliates without your consent. Some Cimtak sites allow you to choose to share your personal information with select Cimtak partners so that they can contact you about their products, services or offers. Other Cimtak sites do not share your contact information with third parties for marketing purposes, but instead may give you a choice as to whether you wish to receive communications from Cimtak on behalf of external business partners about a partner's particular offering (without transferring your personal information to the third party). See the Communication Preferences section below for more information.

Some Cimtak services may be co-branded and offered in conjunction with another company. If you register for or use such services, both Cimtak and the other company may receive information collected in conjunction with the co-branded services.

We occasionally hire other companies to provide limited services on our behalf, such as handling the processing and delivery of mailings, providing customer support, hosting websites, processing transactions, or performing statistical analysis of our services. Those companies will be permitted to obtain only the personal information they need to deliver the service. They are required to maintain the confidentiality of the information and are prohibited from using it for any other purpose.

We may access and/or disclose your personal information if we believe such action is necessary to: (a) comply with the law or legal process served on Cimtak; (b) protect and defend the rights or property of Cimtak (including the enforcement of our agreements); or (c) act in urgent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of Cimtak services or members of the public.

Accessing Your Personal Information

You may have the ability to view or edit your personal information online. In order to help prevent your personal information from being viewed by others, you will be required to sign in with your credentials (e-mail address and password). The appropriate method(s) for accessing your personal information will depend on which sites or services you have used.

• BusinessAdvantage.com - You can access and update your profile on BusinessAdvantage.com by visiting www.BusinessAdvantage.com.

Some Cimtak sites or services may collect personal information that is not accessible via the links above. However, in such cases, you may be able to access that information through alternative means of access described by the service. Or you can write to us by using our email address info@cimtak.com and we will contact you within 30 days regarding your request.

Communication Preferences

You can stop the delivery of future promotional e-mail from Cimtak sites and services by following the specific instructions in the e-mail you receive.

You may also have the option of proactively making choices about the receipt of promotional e-mail, telephone calls, and postal mail from particular Cimtak sites or services by visiting and signing into the following pages:

• BusinessAdvantage.com - www.BusinessAdvantage.com allows you to choose whether you wish to receive marketing communications from Cimtak, to select whether Cimtak may share your contact information with selected third parties, and to subscribe or unsubscribe to newsletters about our products and services.

These choices do not apply to the display of online advertising. Nor do they apply to the receipt of mandatory service communications that are considered part of certain Cimtak services, which you may receive periodically unless you cancel the service.

Security of Your Personal Information

Cimtak is committed to protecting the security of your personal information. We use a variety of security technologies and procedures to help protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. For example when we transmit highly confidential information (such as a credit card number or password) over the Internet, we protect it through the use of encryption, such as the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol.

If a password is used to help protect your accounts and personal information, it is your responsibility to keep your password confidential. Do not share this information with anyone. If you are sharing a computer with anyone you should always choose to log out before leaving a site or service to protect access to your information from subsequent users.

Use of Cookies

Cimtak websites use "cookies" to enable you to sign in to our services and to help personalize your online experience. A cookie is a small text file that is placed on your hard disk by a Web page server. Cookies contain information that can later be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer.

Cimtak websites use cookies to store your preferences and other information on your computer in order to save you time by eliminating the need to repeatedly enter the same information and to display your personalized content and appropriate advertising on your later visits to these sites.

When you sign in to a site using your Cimtak Business Advantage credentials, we store your unique ID number, and the time you signed in, in an encrypted cookie on your hard disk. This cookie allows you to move from page to page at the site without having to sign in again on each page. When you sign out, these cookies are deleted from your computer. We also use cookies to improve the sign in experience. For example, your e-mail address may be stored in a cookie that will remain on your computer after you sign out. This cookie allows your e-mail address to be pre-populated, so that you will only need to type your password the next time you sign in. If you are using a public computer or do not otherwise want this information to be stored, you can select the appropriate radio button on the sign-in page, and this cookie will not be used.

You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to sign in or use other interactive features of Cimtak sites and services that depend on cookies.

Use of Web Beacons

Cimtak Web pages may contain electronic images known as Web beacons - sometimes called single-pixel gifs - that may be used to assist in delivering cookies on our sites and allow us to count users who have visited those pages and to deliver co-branded services. We may include Web beacons in promotional e-mail messages or our newsletters in order to determine whether messages have been opened and acted upon.

Cimtak may also employ Web beacons from third parties in order to help us compile aggregated statistics regarding the effectiveness of our promotional campaigns or other operations of our sites. We prohibit Web beacons on our sites from being used by third parties to collect or access your personal information.

Finally, we may work with other companies that advertise on Cimtak sites to place Web beacons on their sites in order to allow us to develop statistics on how often clicking on an advertisement on a Cimtak site results in a purchase or other action on the advertiser's site.

Advertisements Displayed by Third Parties

Controlling "Spam" or Unsolicited E-mail

Cimtak is concerned about controlling unsolicited commercial e-mail, or "spam." Cimtak has a strict Anti-Spam Policy prohibiting the use of a Business Advantage or other Cimtak e-mail account to send spam. Cimtak will not sell, lease or rent its e-mail subscriber lists to third parties. While Cimtak continues to actively review and implement new technology, such as expanded filtering features, there is no currently available technology that will totally prevent the sending and receiving of unsolicited e-mail. Using junk e-mail tools and being cautious about the sharing of your e-mail address while online will help reduce the amount of unsolicited e-mail you receive.

Changes to This Privacy Statement

We will occasionally update this privacy statement to reflect changes in our services and customer feedback. When we post changes to this Statement, we will revise the "last updated" date at the top of this statement. If there are material changes to this statement or in how Cimtak will use your personal information, we will notify you either by prominently posting a notice of such changes prior to implementing the change or by directly sending you a notification. We encourage you to periodically review this statement to be informed of how Cimtak is protecting your information.
